Chapter 1603 - 1645: Expressing Gratitude

"This is too expensive," Mabel Quinn quickly said.

"It’s just a little trinket. When I saw it, I knew the four-leaf clover symbolizes happiness, so I thought of buying it for Ivy. Especially after what she’s been through, I hope her life from here on can be smooth and peaceful," Daniel Harris said. "Surely, as her uncle, I can give the little one a hair accessory, can’t I?"

Since he put it that way, Mabel let her daughter accept it. "Sweetie, thank Uncle Daniel."

Shiny, pretty things are very appealing to girls. The little one took the four-leaf clover accessory out of curiosity, inspected it, and then lifted her smiling face to say, "Thank you... Uncle Daniel."

Seeing this smile, Daniel Harris couldn’t help but feel a hint of nostalgia, as if he were seeing Mabel Quinn’s smile. The little one’s facial contours, nose, and mouth resemble Mabel’s a lot, but those phoenix eyes are so much like Kyle Kinston’s.

This is the child of Mabel and Kyle... as if it’s a testament to the love between the two of them.

As for him... he also has a child, but it has nothing to do with love; the child was born for the Harris Family... maybe the purpose was impure from the start, and that’s why there have been so many obstacles, leading to the child’s character being as it is now.

The child seems deliberately avoiding and resisting everything around him, as if immersed in his own world. Even though all aspects of the child’s tests are excellent, even surpassing children of the same age in intelligence, it’s like he’s a "lone wolf," unwilling to get close to others or allow anyone to get close to him.

Even he himself doesn’t know how to open his son’s heart.

As he was thinking this, Daniel Harris suddenly felt two soft little hands clinging to his chest—it was little Harper Kinston, who was vigorously climbing onto his lap.

"What’s up, sweetie?" Daniel Harris asked.

In the next moment, the little one was already showing him what she wanted to do. She wrapped her small arms around Daniel Harris, then leaned her little face towards his cheek and planted a forceful kiss, as if to express her gratitude.

Daniel Harris was slightly stunned. After all, his own son, even when given toys or books or treats he wanted, at most would give him an extra glance, never engaging in such intimate acts.

But Harper Kinston’s loud "mwah" sound even made Levi Harris, who was busy playing with his Rubik’s cube, look up with curiosity.

Seeing this little one, who was about the same age as him, kissing their father’s face, Levi’s little eyebrows furrowed slightly, but then quickly lost interest, and he bowed his head again to continue playing with his Rubik’s cube.

After Harper Kinston finished expressing her gratitude to Daniel Harris, feeling it was enough, she climbed down from him and naturally shifted her attention to Levi Harris.

After all, there was just one playmate present who was around her age.

The little one pitter-pattered over to Levi Harris, looked at him sitting on the carpet, and proactively said, "I’m Ivy." Mommy said when meeting someone new, she should say her name.
